Hello Christine, To repair permissions: • Open the Utilities folder (Cmd-Shift-u) and locate Disk Utility; • Open Disk utility and select your hard drive in the table (normally it will be the second item); • Navigate right to First Aid and select it; • Navigate down to Repair Disk Permissions and click it. You can follow the repair process by navigating up to Results and interacting with that table.
To reinitialise the PRAM: • Shut down your computer; • hold down the following keys: Option, Command, letter "r" and letter "p"; • Press the Power button once, but keep holding down the four keys until you've heard the start up chime four times; • Release the four keys and the machine will boot as usual.
